Donating blood to save lives

Numerous regular and first-time blood donors supported World Blood Donor Day, yesterday (Wednesday).

Locals headed to the SANBS Donor Centre at the Mall@Carnival, where a mobile clinic was also set up.

Donors received a gift from the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) after the donation.

June is Blood Donor Month and the SANBS is appealing to citizens to donate blood.

The SANBS usually experiences a dip in donations during the winter season.

The organisation attributes the drop around this time of the year to mid-year school and university holidays.

The SANBS Donor Centre is situated at shop 84 in the Mall@Carnival.
